Dear Sisters and Brothers of the Atlantic District,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! Warmest greetings to you from your neighbors in the Southeastern District. May the Lord bless you as you gather to reflect on God’s faithfulness, discern His direction, and renew your commitment to the mission as you engage the world with the Gospel of hope.
As you worship, deliberate, and elect leaders, may you be guided by the Spirit of wisdom and unity. Your witness in one of the most dynamic and diverse regions of our country strengthens our synod. Gayle and I think fondly of our time serving in the Atlantic District and rejoice in the impact you continue to make today as you shine His light of love and grace in every mission station through your region.
The Southeastern District is honored to partner with you as we connect people with Jesus so that lives are transformed and God's Kingdom grows. May the Lord bless you with every blessing to do immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine in His name and for His sake.
Sincerely,
Rev. Dr. Bill Harmon
President, Southeastern District
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
